One of prefer arrangement to keep switch in a same position against the top optics-lens (74b) and will be triggered when the top optics- lens been touched or pushed to turn the LED on and off or people to touch the switch directly to turn on the desktop LED and/or laser light effects. In order to get a clear projection image on a desired surface, the adjustable means (not shown) are provided on the LEDs' base to allow the LEDs (74/) to be moved up or down to provide a clear image for different rooms or space.

[0064] As shown in FIGS. 7-6 and 7-7, a preferred arrangement of batteries (73m) (73m′) (73m″) (73m′″) in a spiral spaced allows a plurality of LEDs (73K) (73}) (74h) (74h′) (74h″) to be installed as close to center as possible to increase the distance between the light source and optics means such as openings, cut-outs, laser processed film or an injected piece when applied to a wall location. The larger distance will create more exciting image or projection effects.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 7-6, LEDs and/or laser light source(73i) (73j) (73k) are situated very close to a center position so their light beams will emit to the top or surrounding wall areas to hit at least one fixed or moving or detachable, replaceable optics piece having at least one of openings, cut-outs, art, slide, printing, and laser processed film or an injected piece; to provide excellent image or projection effects on a desired surface. If the LEDs and/or laser light source(s) are too close to the top and/or surrounding optics piece, then the effects will be limit and tooling work become very difficult. Normally, a 2-10 cm+/−50% distance between a LED and/or laser light source with optic piece, processed film, or injected piece is very good and enables use of a variety of available optics piece, laser processed films, or injected pieces available from the marketplace so there will be no need for a big investment in tooling for too short a distance application.

The top optics-lens may be in the form of openings, cut-outs, laser processed film or an injected piece. The night light of this embodiment also has adjustable means (77h) (79e) with a height adjustable range for (dd4) (dd6) that enables a clear and exciting image to be shown or projected on the desired surfaces. Wherein, these preferred embodiments have DC operated power utilizing batteries and/or a variety of input power sources as discussed above.

[0108] FIG. 7-11 shows different arrangements for LED on edge, center, donut, or different diameter circles on lower position Printing circuit board (PCB). Wherein, the LED(s) is one of (1) dice, chip, dip LED, or (2) COB (Chips on board) with top coating material to emit a surface substantial even brightness illumination not same individual dice, chip, dip LED(s) which emit out a super bright spot light which is not a surface, area illumination.

[0109] FIGS. 7, 8, 9, and 10 show preferred projection DC operated LED and/or laser night lights with special configuration of optics film, laser film, grating film (7a) (7e) (8d1) (8d2) (8d3) (8d4) (9d) (9e) (10d1) (10d2) (10e), or with openings or cut-outs on the top or surrounded optics piece. Some models also have the openings, cut-outs, laser processed film, or an injected piece on walls (7c) (8e) (9c) (10e) to allow the projection or pin-hole image to be seen on a desired surface.

[0111] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the projection and/or pinhole imaging for single or combination of laser and LED image optics effects can be present in the same unit because both use LED and laser light source(s) both for light source and incorporated with desired combination of openings, cut-outs, art, printing, painting, slide, different thickness, diffusor optics piece, and laser processed film or injected pieces for the current invention(s).

[0112] FIGS. 15, 16,17 18 show one of a preferred DC operated desktop LED and/or laser light for project and/or create pinhole desired LED and laser image (17b) (17c) (18b) (18c) for projection or for displaying an image on a desired surface. It can project and/or pin-hole imaging of LED and Laser for any geometric image or light patterns such as a dollar sign by an opening, cut-outs, slide, printing, art, or laser processed film or injected piece. The lower housing (19a) has a battery compartment (19b) and switch (19c) with assembly poles (19f) (19f′) (19f″) (19f″) and spring members (19g) (19g′) (19g″) (19′″) to bias the top optics-lens (15c) to an upward position so that pushing the top optics-lens (15c) or touch the switch (not shown) will turn the light device or LED on and off. The LED and/or laser light source(s) (19h2) are positioned on a PCB (19e) and connected with the power source by conductive wires (19d) to supply the electric signals go through the switch to turn the LED and/or laser(s) on and off to obtain pre-determined functions, brightness, color, effects, and/or performance. The plurality of LEDs and/or laser light source(s) also can be installed along the battery compartment edge. One of preferred upgrade arrangement would be similar to that shown in FIGS. 7-5, 7-6, and 7-7 to provide a larger distance between the light source and optics-means as discussed above, in which case the plurality of LEDs and/or laser light source(s) along the battery compartment will create an exciting projection or image on the desired surface.
